IMPROVED IRONINGTABLE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters 'Patent and making part of thesame.

ence thereon marked.

The nature of my invention consists in the combinationoi'the severalparts as hereinafter described.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I willproceedto describe its construction and operation. v

Figure l of the drawings represents the table complete;

v Figure 2, the under side of thebed of the table; and

Figure 3, 'the' support of the table.

a being the bed of the table, with the groove cc formed about the bed,by means of which groove the ironing-cloth, or the material to be roned,may be smoothed upon the bed of the table a, and held in position bymeans vof an elastic band or cord passing over said cloth or materialaround the said bed of the table in the said groove'lc c. v i

-The support of thebed of the table d, or Iig. 3, is hinged at thepoints p p of iig. 3 on the centres m lIn of the piece b of figs. 1 and2, and movable upon the said piece, at the centre m m, by projecting thepoints k k of ig.3 into the notches h h of fig. 2, and making thepoints'k k adjustable to and held in either of the said notches h h, bymeans of the bar g, g. 2, which bar is fastened to the under side oftable-bed, passing` through the spring f of iig. 3 at the point o.

, This. allows the table-bed to be raisedor lowered by moving itssupport upon its centre l-Z of igs.3 and I; or the-support of thetable-bed may be closed against the bed of the table on the under side,thusgiving to the table its smallest possible compass. l

The support of the table-bed, g. 3, is so constructed that the insidecross-piece, being shorter, will move freely around inside of theoutside cross-piece against the under side of the tablebed, unless heldin the l points h h, las before described.

` The pieces b and i i are firmly fastened to the under side of thetablebed, asin fig. 2.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

vThe table avtwith its groove c around its edge, and notches It, on theunder side, in combination with the cross-legs d, bar g and spring f, asand for the purposes herein described.
